Simple answer. There are more fans of other teams than there are tottenham. You are more likely to meet football fans that don't like spurs than do.

Suck it up and remember we don't like a lot of teams either.

This is true
I hate all of them except maybe brighton

Weren’t we voted the most hated club in England a few years ago?

Depends where and who you ask I would imagine? Unless they were asked about fanbases and shown a sample of some of the stuff that gets posted on SC before casting a vote. Would be wholly understandable in that case.

Perhaps we should take it as a backhanded compliment not intended as such by the chanters of "WE hate Tottenham "
But they do seem fixated with Tottenham.

MY grand daughter was at the Reading 3 day festival and when she came back home she came to her normal visit she put this question to me " why were there every day and mostly nights ( alcohol ) persistent groups shouting " " we hate Tottenham " I could only answer the truth "I don't know " . it is not as we are serial winners and our fans behaviour is on a par with most clubs.
If you know why please enlighten me ; the four series winners over the last 20 years City / United / Chelsea / and arsenal don't seem to suffer this hate and the only thing I can think that its mainly these clubs supporters that don't like the fact we are progressing at a rate that is a threat to their dominance. I am probably wrong I just can't figure the "hate "

Have you been on this forum at all? I'm a Spurs fan and i fucking hate Spurs fans and it's not due to jealousy i can assure you. Try twitter, that'll give you another clue. To be fair i'd probably feel that way no matter what team i supported, but I'm lumbered with this specific bunch of tosspots with big proud cocks on their shirts and a weird addiction to anti-semitic slang.

Because we are a quiet, unassuming, peaceful, humorous, handsome/beautiful, intelligent ,wise gentle, smart, sexy but most of all humble, folk? What's there not to like - beats me why the smelly, ugly fuckwit trolls supporting other clubs can't simply accept our superiority in all aspects of what is to be human?

Because evil, bully Tottenham nearly stopped lovely little underdogs Leicester from winning the title (according to the media), and nearly prevented poor old Liverpool from winning the CL, and nearly stopped plucky Chelsea from winning stuff too.

We're not seen as underdogs that never win, but more like Wile E Coyote.

I see it as simple as the big boys don't like that we've closed the gap, and the smaller clubs don't like that we've widened the gap. Jealousy from those below and from those above, not so much fear but more a sense of frustration that we're making it hard for them.

We have negative press too which doesn't help. A lot of influential journalists don't like us as they support rival clubs. We were villified for challenging Leicester and for some reason we're never tagged as underdogs either. If anything the way we've gone about building our club is admirable and something others should aspire to. We've not bought our way to success and we've worked hard for what we've got. People are just going to hate, unfortunately.

Edit: Also, the "Spursy" bottler label is hard to shake off as it's catchy for other fans and easy to throw at us. It makes for funny headlines. Yes, we've struggled at the make or break moments, and been our own worst enemies, but it's lazy to call us legends when, if anything, we've been overachieving for years.

Partially true but Spurs have always been a club that has acted like they were a bigger club than we actually are - fans from other clubs look at us and think we are arrogant but with nothing to back it up. Sometimes it is hard to disagree.

That's fair. Personally, I grew up remembering us in the 90s and 00s where we were mediocre as hell. I certainly wasn't acting like we were a big club then, and even now I'm more grateful than boastful. But yeah, I do get your point. We also have fans that get a bit carried away with themselves.

Looks silly if you try to bring up a double won in the 60's to back up how great of a club it is.

BY the way my grand daughter said that one of the bands playing had a known spurs fan in there fold and he had to suffer the same "we hate Tottenham " chant I find it quite scary all this vitriol aimed at our club.

Scary? Unbelievable Jeff!

Lots of middle-class kids from the South go to universities all over the UK (particularly up North), and by default of thier demographic lots of them support Arsenal. They bring their hatred of Spurs with them, chanting etc which influences night-life culture, which in turn influences festival culture. Just my onions from studying at the university of Manchester

Not that long ago it seemed that we were everyone's second team, everyone had a soft spot for us when we were crap.

Exactly, bar our traditional rivals and Southampton.

As soon we strarted really progressing, we became hated by most.

I know we havnt won anything yet, but most fans can see how far we've come without a sugar daddy. Just think some don't like accepting that and they just slag us off.

ARSEMANIA :

teamsoutheast said:
If we defend without the ball the way we have been recently then this game won't be as easy as some of you seem to think. Sp**s are much better than we are defensively and have quite a strong squad this season. They also look like they may have Rose and Eriksen for at least another season. I'm predicting a 2-2 score draw. I would prefer a win obviously but it's going to take a massive performance from the lads.​
I'm sorry how do they have a strong squad? Without Eriksen they don't have any creativity at all. Bunch of diving nonces. Rose really? They have the worst set of fullbacks among the top 6, probably apart from Chelsea.

We'll see a response here. 3-1 Arsenal.

We'll absolutely bum these. Sp**s have been clueless this season and they were poor the back end of last season as well. They got lucky against Villa and they looked completely toothless against Newcastle.

I went and had a little nosey on their forum and they are absolutely sh*ttng themselves about this game.


Looking at Kane yesterday he does not look remotely fit or hungry, would love if he would not score against us for once. Anyway, the way he has been playing, he should be benched against us but he won't be because they don't have anyone else that can play striker other than Son.

Fun fact: Did you know that Sp**s spent € 67M on back up/competition for Kane? Soldado, Llorente and Janssen. That's like the cost of one Aubameyang. The scum hit the lottery with Kane, they can't scout strikers to save their lives.

Something has definitely gone on behind the scenes at Sp**s, they don't seem to have the same cohesiveness team spirit.

Poch has openly admitted that the team is unsettled. They've got various players that wantaway such as Eriksen and Rose, players that are out of form like Alli, players like Aurier who are pissed off with lack of game time and there's also a rumour flying round of them scrapping amongst themselves on the training ground. Vertonghen has popped up over the past few days with a black eye.

I reckon Eriksen will be gone by the time we play them and they look sh1te without him.


If Emery starts Mkhitaryan in this then I'm full on Emery out.

Merson backing us to win 4-1. We're ****ed now...


I've read their forum, they are terrified. Some think they'll bounce back from that Newcastle showing, but most point out that they never really do well at the Emirates and fear Auba and Pepe.

Those Danny Mills comments make me laugh. If Winks gets a look in that midfield you'd have to sell all other players because they are dogshit.

I’m nervous because these lot always seem to scrub a result against us when they’re in the gutter.

I remember those three consecutive home draws against them in the league where we should have ruined them.

We have to beat them. Their form is terrible, we're playing at home. No excuses. 3-0.

3-1
Auba, Pepe and Xhaka to score for us.

Pepe brace guaranteed.

N’Dombele out?

Winks and Sissoko pivot?!


EVERYBODY SEH YEH!!

Would smash them with or without Ndombele.


very confident it seems.

Perfect, suits me fine they’re being over confident. Will make it all the sweeter reading their bitter comments if they drop points.
